"The Gigantic Monster Dragged the Hacked and Headless Corpse of his Victim up the Staircase" is a notable work found within the literary piece, "In Ole Virginia" by American author Thomas Nelson Page. Published in 1896, the collection of short stories marked a significant contribution to the resurgent Southern Literature of the United States. This particular segment accomplishes a profound depiction of gothic horror, distinguished by its graphic and shockingly vivid description of monstrous terror.

Page, a renowned author, lawyer, and diplomat (1853-1922), was a prominent voice of the "Local Color" or "Regional" genre in literature, recognized for his artfully nuanced representations of the antebellum South. Aside from its dramatic title, "The Gigantic Monster Dragged the Hacked and Headless Corpse of his Victim up the Staircase" stands out in its intense exploration of the gothic genre, a stark departure from the backdrop of social commentary and nostalgic reminiscences characterising Page's other works.

Illustrations for this edition of "In Ole Virginia" were completed by renowned American illustrator Howard Pyle, his work amplifying the horror aspect of the story, and further providing visual interpretation of the atmospheric tension constructed fervently through Page's prose.

Despite the publication year reflected as 1896, it is essential to clarify that the narrative's illustrative accompaniment by Pyle was not included until a later release, providing the originally text-based horror story with detailed, graphical confirmation of its terror-filled storyline.

The specific segment, "The Gigantic Monster Dragged the Hacked and Headless Corpse of his Victim up the Staircase," therefore, remains a noted example within Page's repertoire showcasing his literary flexibility, and adding to the larger collection of stories, a thrilling account of gothic horror solidified by Pyle's influential illustrations.
